- New York--New York. 1837 Phalon's Hair Cutting. HT-304, Low-127, W-NY-880-10a. Rarity-2. Copper. Plain Edge. 28.5 mm. MS-62 BN (PCGS). Coin alignment. A satiny and tight example with dominant autumn and rose-brown patina to both sides. Glints of olive-gray are also evident, mostly over the upper obverse and lower reverse. Ideally centered and sharply struck, there is not much precluding a Choice Mint State grade for this overall smooth, visually appealing piece. This variety, readily available in circulated grades such as VF and EF, is a noteworthy condition rarity in Mint State. The Dice-Hicks specimen, which is also the Rulau plate token, was cataloged as Choice Uncirculated and is comparable to the SLT-Bowers piece offered here. Another noteworthy Uncirculated piece is Steinberg 1989. Provenance: Ex William Anton, Jr., 1973 ANA Convention; Stephen L. Tanenbaum estate, November 2013. The plate token for the variety in the 2015 Whitman Guide Book of Hard Times Tokensby Q. David Bowers. Collector tag with attribution and provenance notes included.
